Across
- 2. the belt around the Earth near the equator where sailing ships sometimes get stuck on windless waters.
- 5. line on a map connecting points having the same atmospheric pressure at a given time or on average over a given period.
- 6. front,the boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
- 9. winds, winds that reliably blow east to west just north and south of the equator
- 10. storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone
- 12. winds from the west toward the east
Down
- 1. concentration of water vapor present in the air
- 3. severe snowstorm with high winds and low visibility.
- 4. mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system.
- 7. point, the atmospheric temperature (varying according to pressure and humidity) below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form.
- 8. winds from the west
- 11. pressure, the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth
